ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization. It brings together global experts to agree on the best ways of working, from creating products to managing processes. Our mission is to make life easier, safer, and better for everyone, everywhere.

The aim of getting ISO certification is to advance the improvement of standardization in the technology of an organization.
ISO certification, particularly ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), aims to enhance the quality of products or services offered by an organization. By adhering to ISO standards, companies can establish and maintain effective quality management systems, leading to improved processes and overall quality.
ISO standards often emphasize customer satisfaction as a key objective. Meeting ISO requirements can result in better understanding and fulfillment of customer needs, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
